Michigan branch of Working America celebrates 100,000+ members – and YOU’RE INVITED!

Come out and celebrate with us!

The Michigan branch of Working America is celebrating over 100,000 Michigan members! Tomorrow, October 11th, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., they are gathering to share Michigan-made appetizers and beverages and are hoping you will join them. All proceeds from this event will go toward expanding and enhancing their field program. Admission is $50, $25 for members. Can’t afford that? Come anyway! Any level of support will be greatly appreciated.

Working America is a grassroots group working to ensure that ALL workers get a fair shake. They are a friend of Eclectablog and I encourage you to join us if you can. From their About page:

Working America is the fastest-growing organization for working people in the country. At 3 million strong and growing, we use our strength in numbers to educate each other, mobilize and win real victories to improve working people’s lives.

Together, and in solidarity with working people across the country, we fight for our common interests—good jobs, affordable health care, education, retirement security, corporate accountability and real democracy. We want to ensure our kids have a quality education, our grandparents don’t have to decide between paying for their monthly medication or paying for food and that we will have a secure retirement when our working days have ended.

Since 2003, we’ve been organizing in neighborhoods across the country. We talk with our friends and neighbors to learn their needs and priorities and get them engaged on the issues that matter most. And we provide tools, research, information and assistance that can help make working people’s lives better.

I hope to see you there!
